AIR by Mr. DU BELLAMY.

I

“Not for thy wings, oh God of love!
“Sighs the Youth that wou'd not rove;
“Not for thy arrow pants the heart,
“Blest to feel the mutual dart.

II

“But that I ne'er may jealous live,
“Me thy careless child-hood give,
“And, to secure unchang'd delight,
“Share thy band, and veil my sight.”
